Can't wait to mix it up with Derik Bull, Martyn Blundle, David Blandham,
Hans Schmück, Jean Lewis Slasher, Edmund Sheever, Derrick Whorewick, Alan
Stones...

LOL.

Have you actually driven it, or are you simply believing the p.r.?

Yes, I have driven it, quite a lot actually. One place where you can
really feel the improves physics, is over bumpy surfaces and curbs. In
1.0 the car started "oscillating" really easily and was generally
pretty hard to control over curbs. Now it's much better and you can
actually use the curbs in places; of course you still can't go crazy
on them.

And I don't see why you shouldn't believe the "PR". They're not
selling the mod, so they shouldn't have any reason to start an
EA-style PR campaign, no?

Anyway, I like the 1.1 version a lot better than 1.0. With the physics
improvements and a couple of other fixes it's a clear choice for me
especially as you can copy tracks and car from the previous version.

So, I don't agree with the comments that it has been "dumbed down"...
it is probably more hassle for the user to copy the tracks and cars
over but as I see it, it's better to have it this way than no mod at
all.

Hmm, I guess I might give it a go. I thought the tyres in 1.0 were far too
forgiving for racing tyres....

I remember racing those guys in Lotus Esprit Turbo Challenge on the Amiga,
they were bloody good!

LOL.

The reason I mention it is because John P's statement, "I want to make one
thing clear: The physics are not 'watered down'" is soooo Richard Milhous
Nixon ("I am not a crook"), n'est pas?

But I have to agree with you - the behavior over FIA-spec curbing is vastly
improved. With 1.0 it was as if a giant claw came out and hooked you to the
inside. OTOH, in 1.1 there are some obvious anomalies. A realistic top
speed for the Sauber is more in the order of 250+ mph than the 225 I
observed with the new minimum wing angle.

Good point about Nixon. He really should have said "I am not a crook,
relative to other politicians".

His sarcasm escapes you. But it's not about NSR so that's understandable
